The BBC covered the Jihad attack that took place in Stockholm this morning. You should give it a listen here. It strikes me that the BBC still cannot comprehend WHY the UK is such a star destination for wannabe Jihadists.Nor, for that matter, does it choose to linger on the ISLAM connection. I wonder why?

The BBC has come to rely on Sir Hugh Orde, President of the ACPO cabal, to act as a counter for any Government proposal that might mean more effective policing. They had him on Today this morning in order that he could shoot down the suggestion coming from the Coalition that water-cannon could be deployed on our streets to prevent future riots. Orde has also been vocal in damning the … Continue reading
It appears that some Wikileaks are more equal than others. As we all know, the BBC has spent the past few weeks regaling us with all sorts of “insights” care of Mr Assange. The more embarrassing for the USA the greater the space afforded to the leaks but I note that there is one that came out overnight that the BBC is curiously silent about. You see it transpires that Irish … Continue reading
I don’t understand. If the English Defence League are, as described on BBC news, an “ultra-nationalist” group, what does that make Sinn Fein/IRA, who killed more than two thousand people over 25 years for such crimes as holding a dying soldier or shopping in Warrington ? I don’t think I ever heard the BBC talk about anything but ‘Irish nationalists’. I’m not an EDL expert, but I understand they were … Continue reading
I have been in London over the past few days and just happened to be in Oxford Street/Regent St at the moment when those students protesting against Tuition Fees demonstrated the substance of their case by….smashing in windows, spraying graffiti on private property, emptying bins of rubbish across Oxford Street etc. The attack on Prince Charles/Camilla had just taken place a few moments beforehand. I was talking to some of the … Continue reading
Well, the Religion of Peace strikes again, this time in Stockholm. I notice that the BBC is quick to play UP the “terrorist” angle whilst being careful to play down the Islamic one. It must gut them when it is clear that this vicious act of cruel terror WAS carried out by Islamists proud of their hatred of all things Western. It’s going to be tough for the BBC to … Continue reading
Good to see the BBC affording Ferne Brittan paying gushing tribute to Rev Jesse Jackson on her Sunday morning programme. Brittan takes sycophancy to a whole new level treating this monstrouus clown as if he were a Martin Luther King. Brittan also salivated over Obama (I’m guessing she is closing her eyes to what is happening to HIS popularity at the moment) I remember being berated when I appeared on … Continue reading
I don’t know culture secretary Jeremy Hunt. But I do know something of his views, courtesy of the Observer, today; and what is increasingly clear is that he talks utter nonsense. This, for example, is his considered pronouncement about the BBC: “It is one of our crown jewels,” he says. “It produces fantastic TV programmes.” And it has “probably the most respected news service in the world”. Despite such vomit-inducing … Continue reading
So, an agreement has been reached by the 20,000 fanatics at Cancun. Billions of pounds are to be wasted in battling the biggest non-existent problem ever imagined, and millions of people worldwide are going to be condemned to needlessly intensfying fuel poverty; meanwhile the UN bureaucrats will get fatter and more powerful as they dream up endless Gormenghast laws. The BBC, of course, is crowing about how marvellous this is … Continue reading
